Geekgasm: Tron gets a name and a trailer!

I am just recovering from a rather strong geekgasm. The new Tron film finally gets a title (Tron Legacy) and Walt Disney has decided to officially release the Comic-Con 08 test footage as a teaser. I had only seen really sketchy pirate versions of this footage until now. I am really looking forward to this and feel that I have to go and watch the original 80’s Tron this afternoon.

For those that haven’t been following this story, the new film follows John Flynn (son of the original character Kevin Flynn) as he looks into his father’s disappearance. He gets sucked into the same world as the first film and finds his father who has been living there for 25 years. Father and son then set out on a life and death journey across a more advanced and dangerous cyberspace. Tron Legacy is directed by Joseph Kosinski and stars Jeff Bridges, Olivia Wilde and Garrett Hedlund. It will be released by Disney in 2011.
